Sanctuary at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire |
I've been thinking about 'Sanctuary' and what it might mean to different people. I'm sure we all have different ideas about it, and why we might need or seek it sometimes. If we look at dictionary definitions we can see that it comes from the Latin Sanctus (holy) and can mean:
1. Refuge or safety from pursuit, persecution or other danger
2. A nature reserve
3. A holy place; a temple.

I'm wondering what Sanctuary means for you?
